Podiatric Residency - Teaching Comprehensive Care

Contact Us

Our Podiatric Residency Program teaches resident physicians to deliver comprehensive, ongoing care to patients of all ages. Residents are taught how a patient's individual needs, life experiences and expectations can impact one's health. The Podiatric Residency, a three-year program, serves a dual mission - top-notch resident education and service to our patients in a Christ-centered environment.

The Podiatric Residency Program trains new physicians while delivering health care to the medically under-served. The program is fully accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education. A graduate from our program will be well-equipped for board certification in Podiatric Surgery and Podiatric Primary Medicine.

The Podiatric Clinic is located on campus and is the primary training areas for our residents. Outreach clinics, community service opportunities, and overseas mission work are expanded opportunities.
